Applicants should demonstrate a strong track record of adoption, validated outcomes, and growth.

Organisations should show credible governance and operational discipline.

Leaders and teams should demonstrate resilience, ambition, and the capability to scale impact.

100x Impact prefers applications from emerging markets and aims for 70% of its portfolio from these markets.

Founders and/or senior team members are preferably based in the region where the organisation operates.

Grant Amount: £150,000 in catalytic funding

Project Duration: 16-week tailored programme as the initial phase, followed by a longer-term partnership Funding Scope: Tailored strategic support; LSE research expertise; connections to advisers, funders, partners and peers; potential follow-on funding
